Hua… It was still raining, making it impossible to see the full moon on the night of Moon Festival.
Hao Ren took off his shirt and sat on the bed cross-legged, cultivating the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll. Sword energies surrounded his body while the spiritual core which contained Zhao Haoran’s 1,000 years of cultivation strength shook slightly, in sync with Hao Ren’s nature essence circulation.
The Heavenly Dao is boundless, and Hao Ren’s mind was as vast as the sea.
“Lu Linlin and Lu Lili might have purposefully chosen the night of Moon Festival for me to break through.”
While he thought about this, Hao Ren raised his arms, and 160 sword energies flew out of the window, formed a chain, and brought up a sea wave that was as high as six meters before shooting out of the sea again.
Since the sword energies had Hao Ren’s spiritual senses on them, Hao Ren could see as if his eyes were on the sword energies. While the sword energies flew close to the sea surface, Hao Ren who sat in the room felt like he was flying on the sea surface swiftly.
Hua… The colorful sword energies shot toward the clouds with Hao Ren’s spiritual senses.
The huge and limitless clouds!
The 160 sword energies shot into 160 directions through the clouds, surging up layers of air currents.
Crack!
Disturbed by the sword energies, the clouds released tiny shafts of lightning. Instantly, the dark night was lit up!
Boom… the 160 sword energies turned into one light sword while many lightning bolts followed it.
Sitting in the room, Hao Ren felt as if tens of thousands of lightning bolts were chasing after him in the clouds!
It was thrilling!
If it were in the past, Hao Ren wouldn’t have dared to do this. However, he was re-cultivating and very proficient with the Light Splitting Shadow Sword Scroll, so the tens of thousands of lightning bolts couldn’t reach the light sword which was controlled by his mind.
Breaking through the nine heavens with a thought!
A sense of magnificence that he had never felt before rose in his mind, and the light sword which was made up of 160 sword energies suddenly split again.
The lightning bolts which had been chasing after the light sword suddenly lost the target and shattered, releasing tens of thousands of tiny lightning bolts onto the sea surface. They formed a natural formation between the sky and the sea surface for a few seconds.
After Hao Ren’s disturbance, the clouds within hundreds of kilometers instantly emptied their lightning energy. When the clouds scattered, the clear night sky and the snowy white full Moon were revealed
The bright Moon rose over the sea, making a great scenery.
The moonlight shimmered on the ocean waves while Hao Ren’s sword energies splashed up water on the surface of the sea as if Hao Ren himself was moving on the sea.
Feeling great, Hao Ren was on the verge of a breakthrough with the aid of the energy from the stars on this night of the full Moon!
656 Immortal Physique
When Hao Ren was focusing his mind on roaming outside, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili touched each other’s wrists and sat up quietly in Xie Yujia’s room.
Exhausted, Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia had fallen asleep soon after their heads hit the pillow.
Since Duan Yao was now like a mortal without any nature essence, and Zhao Yanzi had searched her several times for any weapons, they were not worried about her.
Sleeping on the edge of the bed, Little White would wake up alertly at any movement.
When Lu Linlin and Lu Lili got up from the bed quietly, Little White immediately raised its head and looked up at them.
Lu Linlin tossed out an elixir pill, and the greedy Little White swallowed it immediately. Feeling dizzy, Little White fell to the end of the bed and began to snore.
They were not good elixir master, but they had collected lots of weird elixir pills.
They opened the door quietly and walked out of Xie Yujia’s room.
Almost at the same time, Duan Yao who had a blanket over her sat up slowly from the small sofa.
In Xie Yujia’s room, she didn’t dare to share the bed with Zhao Yanzi while the latter also didn’t want to sleep with her, so she ended up sleeping on the small sofa in the room.
However, with a troubled mind and afraid that Zhao Yanzi would harm her, Duan Yao pretended to be asleep and forced herself to be alert.
Seeing Lu Linlin and Lu Lili going out of the room, she pushed the blanket aside and followed them on tiptoes.
In their pajamas, the Lu sisters walked through the living room, entered the kitchen, and took something from the refrigerator to eat.
Hiding behind the big sofa in the living room, Duan Yao watched them and saw the Lu sister open a bright square-shaped ‘dharma treasure’ and take food from it.
After eating some midnight snacks, the Lu sisters teased each other, and then they closed the refrigerator before walking toward the stairs through the living room.
Hiding behind the sofa, Duan Yao held her breath and didn’t dare to make noise. Her only protection was her master, Lady Zhen. Otherwise, she was only a mortal, even weaker than an ordinary 15-year-old girl.
Seeing the Lu sisters disappearing around the corner on the second floor, Duan Yao held her breath while she swiftly ran to the kitchen through the living room.
This cold white ‘dharma treasure’ was as tall as her with a couple of white handles. It hissed in the dark night, sounding powerful.
After working up her courage, Duan Yao pulled at the upper handle hard and found that the dharma treasure opened easily.
Then, the chilling air blew onto her face,
Startled, Duan Yao fell onto the floor while she covered her face with both hands.
However, this dharma treasure didn’t attack and simply released an intense white chilling mist. Duan Yao pushed herself up from the ground and was surprised to see chunks of frozen meat inside.
“This ice-frost dharma treasure is indeed powerful; it can release light and freeze stuff. It seems like this pervert come from a wealthy cultivation family which possessed such huge dharma treasures,” she thought.
Cautiously, Duan Yao closed the upper door of the refrigerator and pulled open the lower door with force. In the chilling air, there were layers of fresh fruits, cakes, and drinks, releasing a delicious aroma.
Duan Yao swallowed her saliva at the sight of the food. After taking out a cake in a paper box, she looked around. Then, she touched the cake with her finger before placing her finger into her mouth when she saw no one around.
Due to her hatred for Hao Ren, she had barely eaten anything during lunch and dinner. It was now midnight, and she was starving.
“Delicious!” After tasting the white icing on the cake, Duan Yao’s eyes widened.
As old as Zhao Yanzi, she craved delicious food. Now dizzy with hunger, she remembered that the Lu sisters had eaten the food and began to devour the cake.
She had eaten all kinds of rare delicacies, but none of them was as delicious as this cake.
She finished the palm-sized cake in seconds. With lips covered in cream, she dug out several sausages, tore open the package with her teeth, and gobbled them.
After starving for one day, she ate so fast that she choked on the food. Immediately she took out a bottle of black liquid, opened the red cap after several attempts, and poured the liquid into her mouth.
Hiss… Tiny bubbles surged in her throat while a strange but refreshing taste spread from her belly to her tongue.
“What kind of elixir water is this? I feel like my body has been cleansed…” Under the light of the refrigerator, Duan Yao looked at the bottle in her hand and saw some red ‘runes’ but was unable to understand them.
“This pervert ate such good stuff. No wonder he has such a high realm.” Filled with jealousy, Duan Yao wanted to take out everything that looked edible and eat as much as she could.
She knew that she wouldn’t ha
ve such food after she returned to the Demon Sea with Lady Zhen.
“Hic…” Duan Yao hiccupped and almost fell asleep with satisfaction.
However, she suddenly remembered that she had been following the Lu sisters. After closing the refrigerator, she crawled toward the stairs with the aid of moonlight.
Standing in front of Hao Ren’s door, the Lu sisters were blowing a white substance into Hao Ren’s room.
Through the crack of the door, they were pleased to see that Hao Ren had fallen asleep. Then, they opened the door quietly and slipped into his room.
To complete the Poison Pill Plan, Hao Ren must make the breakthrough with the Lu sisters’ help.
Standing on the stairs of the second floor, Duan Yao widened her eyes when she saw the Lu sisters enter Hao Ren’s room. The word ‘pervert’ rose in her mind again!
It was midnight, and it was ‘obvious’ why the Lu sisters, two beautiful girls, went into Hao Ren’s room.
While blushing, Duan Yao gritted her teeth and walked down the stairs.
The living room was quiet, and a round ‘dharma treasure’ that was hanging on the wall ticked.
Feeling danger everywhere, Duan Yao looked at the moon outside and calculated the time, knowing that it was almost midnight.
She pushed open the back door and faced the ocean that was under the moonlight.
The rain that had lasted for one day had stopped, and the ocean looked boundless under the moonlight.
Looking up at the full Moon in the high sky, Duan Yao remembered that today was Moon Festival. Sky Mountain Sect never celebrated Moon Festival, afraid that the disciples from the ordinary families on Sixth Heaven would miss their families and thus slow down their cultivation progress.
However, Duan Yao knew from books that the Moon Festival was a day for family reunions.
“Family… Do I still have a family?” Looking up at the bright Moon and then the peaceful ocean, Duan Yao sighed and felt lost.
In the high sky, hundreds of sword energies appeared with pale colorful lights around them.
In Hao Ren’s room, Lu Lili was blowing her immortal essence into Hao Ren’s mouth while blushing.
Lu Linlin had started the Poison Pill Plan, and Lu Lili was responsible for finishing it.
After one week of adjustment, Hao Ren’s body had turned from the ordinary physique into the Immortal Physique. From now on, his cultivation speed would match that of Su Han’s, who was a cultivation genius.
However, due to Hao Ren’s elevation to the top-tier Zhen-level, the difficulty of finishing the Poison Pill Plan had significantly increased.
With her right hand pressing on Hao Ren’s shoulder, Lu Lili laid across Hao Ren’s chest. She was nervous and shy, afraid that she would make a mistake.
Although they had been imprisoned in the Ice Palace at the East Ocean Dragon Palace, they were not of low status in the Above Realm, and they had never imagined that they would do such a thing for a mortal.
However, they had been impatient when they saw Hao Ren’s low realm despite his hard work. The Poison Pill Plan’s official name was the Immortal Physique Swapping Technique. With it, one would swap a portion of their physique with someone else’s. This technique was usually used in critical moments when someone was so seriously wounded that even elixir pills were useless.
With the help of the Immortal Physique Swapping Technique, Hao Ren’s body had become the so-called Immortal Physique, far superior to ordinary cultivators. His cultivation speed would double at least.
The Immortal Physique Swapping Technique could only be used in an intimate relationship in which the participants shared their minds. By using the Poison Pill Plan, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili had entrusted themselves to Hao Ren.
Hum!
On the sea surface outside the room, Hao Ren’s sword energies flew randomly, showing that the nature essence in his body was chaotic.
“Erm…” Hao Ren opened his eyes slightly.
He had been cultivating when a wave of drowsiness swept over him. Then, he began to dream that he was flying in the high sky.
“Gongzi…” With a red face, Lu Lili pushed up from Hao Ren’s chest.
Lu Linlin loosened Lu Lili’s hand with relief. Although only one person could make contact with Hao Ren, they shared the loss of cultivation strength evenly.
Since Hao Ren had reached Zhen-level instead of remaining a mortal, it had cost them much more cultivation strength than they had planned. Their realm had dropped from Qian-level to Zhen-level!
However, with their Immortal Physique, they would recover their realm by cultivation, and the speed wouldn’t be slow!
In bafflement, Hao Ren looked at the Lu sisters in his room and suddenly sensed a burning pain in his bones!
“Gongzi, you are going to transform into a dragon!” Lu Linlin reminded him.
Standing outside of the back door of the house, Duan Yao who had been looking at the ocean suddenly raised her hands.
Lady Zhen had improved her physique and had told her that her cultivation strength would come back on the night of full Moon!
Surging nature essence released from her Dantian. The Core Formation Realm!
“This is the place! That’s Hao Ren’s home!”
A loud shout sounded in the high sky.
“Because of him, we almost died at the Kunlun Mountain! Well, there are even human cultivators here! As an inspector, he even dares to hide human cultivators in his home!”
Three powerful auras came from the sky.
Crack! The array formation that Zhen Congming built around the house shattered instantly.
657 Must Break Through, Break Through!
The three men were the metal-elemental, top-tier Qian-level dragon cultivators who had tried to surround Hao Ren. They had been lured into the Kunlun Mountain by Hao Ren and were almost killed by the Soul Formation cultivators.
They had rested in their respective caves for two days. After regaining their strength, they got Hao Ren’s home address through a disciple and rushed over during the night in anger.
The metal-elemental dragons were never afraid of the Dragon God Shrine, especially these three metal-elemental, top-tier Qian-level dragon cultivators who were established figures, each leading a group of metal-elemental dragons.
However, since the intelligence sharing was less effective among the caves of metal-elemental dragons than an ordinary dragon palace, these three metal-elemental dragon cultivators didn’t know that six peak Qian-level dragons from the Elder Council had been completely defeated today…
These three metal-elemental dragons had attributed their failure to the Kunlun Mountain and their carelessness since they hadn’t expected Soul Formation Realm cultivators to be there.
However, they didn’t think Hao Ren could escape from them in East Ocean City!
Bang! The energy sphere around the small house shattered, shaking the house.
Yue Yang, Hao Zhonghua, and Grandma were all woken up by the commotion.
At the critical moment of the breakthrough, Hao Ren was distracted by the attacks on his home, and one thread of nature essence entered the wrong meridian by shooting into the Chize Acupoint on the right side, immobilizing his arm.
“Steady, Gongzi. We’ll go out and check.”
The Lu sisters hadn’t expected cultivators to attack a mortal’s house on the territory of East Ocean City at the risk of angering the Dragon God Shrine.
Turning into two dashes of lights, they flew out from the window. Although their realms had dropped to Zhen-level, their combat force was still high enough to defeat cultivators at Gen-level or even Xun-level.
In the high sky, the three metal-elemental dragon cultivators emitted vague golden lights and attacked Duan Yao who was standing at the back door.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili immediately created a red energy sphere around Hao Ren’s small house and the three metal-elemental dragon cultivators so that mortals wouldn’t see the fight.
Standing at the ba
ck door, Duan Yao who had just recovered her realm saw three golden lights shoot toward her, but she had no time to dodge.
Hum!
At this critical moment, white light glittered on the helm of her colorful traditional dress.
Except for all kinds of gold and silver threads, the dress had several precious stones on the helm.
The golden lights shot by the three top-tier Qian-level cultivators struck on Duan Yao’s dress without any result.
“Impossible!”
The three metal-elemental dragon cultivators looked astonished.
Although they hadn’t used their full force, they had meant to kill this Core Formation Realm human cultivator with their attacks.
Regardless of the relationship between the metal-elemental dragon clan and the Dragon God Shrine, the dragon cultivators and the human cultivators had an agreement after the great war.
Any human cultivators could kill any dragon cultivators who appeared on and above Fifth Heaven, and the dragon cultivators could kill any human cultivators who ventured below Fifth Heaven.
Technically, Xie Yujia was a human cultivator, but with protection from Hao Ren and Su Han, the only two inspectors in East Ocean City, who would dare to touch her?
As to the other inspectors, they could see the mark on Xie Yujia’s left shoulder which was left by a Soul Formation Realm cultivator, and none of them would dare to kill Xie Yujia unless they had a death wish.
With this mark, Xie Yujia even entered the Dragon God Shrine during the general exams, and no one dared to touch her!
“Retreat, and we’ll spare your lives!”
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili rushed out from the house and yelled at the metal-elemental dragon cultivators.
At this critical cultivation moment for Hao Ren, the priority was to keep quiet.
The three metal-elemental dragon cultivators laughed when they saw the Lu sisters.
“Ignorant young girls, hand over Hao Ren, and we’ll spare your lives!” they shouted back.
